The makers of the popular messaging app Confide said Wednesday it has patched multiple security vulnerabilities that could have allowed hackers to intercept messages sent using its secure end-to-end messaging platform. The flaws were identified in two separate reports, both released Wednesday, by security firms IOActive and Quarkslab. Security of Confide s platform has taken center stage ever since reports surfaced last month that senior White House staff, including press secretary Sean Spicer, were using the app. According to Google Play, the Android app has been installed between 100,000 to 500,000 times.
